In reply to Bolette. Great suggestions! My main issue isn't necessarily the scoring cards: I often struggle to see the overlapping possibilities. This is something that happens to me with similar games, and it's likely pretty unique to me! Can't fault the game for that. I agree that using easier objectives to start with is likely the best way to get into the game. If I play agin, that's certainly something I'll be trying out. Thanks!

Why not give yourself a mulligan option for the scoring condition cards, so you don’t end up with some very unlucky combinations of cards. Especially if the game isn’t something, you already know and love. I would totally do that if I were playing a game, I was not too sure was for me. I would give it a lot of leeway, so it had a decent chance of converting me – even if I was more reluctant to like it that with other games.
Maybe even starting with some specially chosen scoring condition cards for my first few games to make that part easy for me, so I could focus on whether I like the mechanisms of the game or not and figure out how the game should be played.

In reply to Brenoit. Good to know! I have all of the expansions and hope that this eventually clicks with me. If not, always nice to see that it has a lot of fans out there!

I’m pretty much agreeing with all of your pro and cons. The game never fully clicked with me. I must say I had fun with the expansions that bring some entertaining twists to the puzzle. Winning was always something I would not count on anyway.
